5 January 2012 By Seth Miller 8 Comments

And a couple weeks ago, when Emirates indicated that they were activating the OnAir in-flight internet service on the A380s I […]

Fleet-wide wifi coming to United

27 October 2011 By Seth Miller 10 Comments

There was plenty of news in this morning’s quarterly earnings call for United Airlines. As per usual, most of it was focused on the financial numbers but there were a few interesting bits that came out which are actually of interest to passengers rather than investors.

Another potential setback for LiveTV’s in-flight internet service

22 August 2011 By Seth Miller 5 Comments

It seems that in-flight entertainment and connectivity provider LiveTV just cannot catch a break in getting their in-flight internet product to a deliverable state. First there was the Kiteline product, built on the back of the old Airfone bandwidth spectrum and only ever live on a single plane. That project fell apart when they were […]
